Oh my Marcia, I just spent yesterday at a simulcast of Beth Moore and she taught on Proverbs 31:26 the law of kindness., Your friends certainly did express their kindness to you. So happy the whole family got to go. blessings. Katie

Marcia, Sometimes, the most amazing things can happen to us and this was certainly the case for you. I'm glad you and your family were able to enjoy being at the beach together. Your friends were very generous. Good things happen to good people...~ Sue

This is just sooooo awesome...and I can so understand the gratefulness in your heart and the treasured memories that were made there. We had a couple give us their condo for the weekend of our 30th anniversary, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to get away....we haven't been able to get away in 10 years...I know the joy of receiving such a timely gift.I am so excited for you and so glad all of your children got to go with you!!! That is a miracle in itself!!! I know there are 10 of us now, and schedules are always full!!!What an awesome, personal, caring God we serve!!!

Ohhhh :) How thoughtful. I'm sure each of the 8 needed that sweet family time!And don't you know that family received a blessing by giving? It is good to read a story like this every now and then amongst all the others!Oh I'd love to make you a banner :) I can't do all the tricks but some :)

Hi Marcia,It looks like your family had a wonderful time with one another. I received your note and I would feel honored. I recently started a blog on here too so that I could begin following others adventures and creativity. Thank you again for your sweet words!Love Aubrey

Wow, how awesome is that? Looks like your family really enjoyed it too! Nice they could all be there...I just saw this because we are also at the ocean and haven't been on computer much. those little cottages are CUTE!
